The reason behind his dissatisfaction was the way the fight ended. Brooks was on a comeback after a disappointing run in the UFC, as he lost all three of his fights. Although the win wasn’t all he wanted, in fact, he wanted to put on a show for the audience.

Brooks won the fight after his opponent couldn’t fight anymore after a checked kick from Brooks broke his leg. Bastos attempted one of the first kicks of the match, which was successfully checked by ‘Ill Will’. As a result, Bastos fell on the canvas and held his leg in visibly excruciating pain.

Will Brooks shared his thoughts on the fight on Twitter, and said, “Got the win tonight. Didn’t get the chance to put on a display. Opponent threw a leg kick, I stepped down, checked properly, and he broke his leg on impact. Happy for the W but a little disappointed I didn’t get to put on a performance.”

However, he still secured the fastest win of his career, and it will stay with him till he outdoes himself. Currently, he has a 23-5 record in MMA and is a dangerous lightweight fighter even at 35 years of age.

Brooks might not be one of the most famous names in the industry right now, but he was once a force to be reckoned with. The 35-year-old became the Bellator lightweight champion and was one of the most dangerous fighters in the division for some time.

He joined UFC with a 17-1 professional record and was considered to be the upcoming face of the company. However, he had a disappointing run in the promotion and was offloaded after his first three fights, all losses.

But very few know about his rivalry with one of the biggest free-agent signings of the UFC, Michael Chandler. Chandler himself is a Bellator legend and has defeated many top names in the lightweight division.
